ROCHESTER — Police continue to investigate the knifepoint robbery at Lil’ Mart on Milton Road last Thursday, June 13.

Police Capt. Paul Toussaint said police so far have no suspects in the case, which involved a man wearing an orange ski mask entering the store with a knife, and stealing cigarettes before fleeing on foot.

Police say that the man left the store with an unknown number of stolen cigarette packs, after being chased out of the store by the clerk.

A K9 search conducted by police on the evening of June 13 led officers north on Milton Road, where the track ended. Toussaint said it’s uncertain whether the suspect got into a vehicle after the robbery.

While police have looked into a couple of tips from the public so far, in regard to the suspect’s identity, police are hoping for further help from the public in identifying the robber.

“We are hoping the public can provide us with a name that we can look into,” he said.

The suspect is described as being white, male, between 5-feet 7-inches and 5-feet 10-inches tall and weighing 100 to 140 pounds. He was wearing dark pants, a dark shirt, tan boots, and light-colored gloves, as well as an hunter orange mask covering his entire head, during the time of the robbery.
